then the thought of the mortgage
came heavy on her mind. Commit
thy way unto the Lord and He will
direct thy paths" were the words she
read. After she finished her chapter,
she knelt down by the newly-covered
chair, and gave all her cares, even to
the mortgage, into the hands of the
Lord, trusting that ne would help her
lift them
1t was very warm the first week that
the boarders came, and with so much
cooking and hard work to be done, it
seemed as if the load could not be car
ried. But day by day strength was
given, and just as everything was get
ting into good running order Judge
Upson's only daughter was taken with
typhoid fever. There was q panic in
the house; wells were impure, or
drainage was bad, the boarders said,
and oil of them left, but Judge Epson
and his sick daughter. Her mother
was dead and they two were all that
were left of the family, and were
strongly attached to each other. A
trained nurse was procured, but there
were days when the physician gave no
hope of recovery. Mrs. Brewster did
everything to make the stricken
ones comfortable in her home,
and aJ ease. It seemed such g.
strange ordering of her life, yet she for
got herself and her cares In minister
ing to the troubled ones OF her house
hold. 1t was indeed strange that
such turn should have been taken in
affairs. After weeks of anxious
watching and waiting, the daughter
was enabled to go home, but the sum-
mer was nearly over. The mortgage
could not be paid off and the home
must be lost. 1t was but small sum
in the eyes of q moneyed man, but to
the Brewsters q few hundred dollars
was a very hard matter to get togeth-
er. But, Notwithstanding the dark
outlook, Mary Ann Brewster read her
chapter every night and committed
her way to the Lord, and did her duty
every day as it came to her.
away he called Hepsy to wait on mis-
daughter, and said: 81 want to do

Epson. Don't let her know Ispoke of
it to you, but she's worrying herself
sick over that all the time" "I will
look into the matter, Hepsy, and /
thank you for telling me about it.
After Judge Epson left the house on
his return to the city, q long envelope
was found ia the room he had occu-
pied, addressed to Mrs. Brewster, and
a document enclosed which gave her
the home clear of all encumbrances.
"God works in strange ways" she
said, as she burst into tears. "Who
would have thought of such way as
this?" When she showed it to her
husband, later in the day, he smiled,
and said: "Didn't I tell you not to
worry, Mary AnnG / knew all the
time something would turn up to pay

The Archaeology of Artificial Limbs.
From the London Lancet.

The history of medicine is all but
silent on orthop8dic surgery. And
yet Greeks and Romans, who, as
archaeology has shown, had antici-
pated much of modern dentistry, can
not have been without artificial sub
stitutes FOR limbs lost in the vicissi-
tudes of peace or war. Herodotus
tells us of a captive who amputated
his foot to free himself from the
shackle. and thus escaped to his
friends, who replaced the limb by O.
wooden one. The Elder Pliny NAT.
Hist, vii, %, ed. Mayhoff) records
the case of M. Sergius, great-grand.
father of Catiline, who lost his right
hand in his second campaign,
was wounded twenty-three times
in two campaigns, and thus
had the complete use of neither
hand nor foot. Twice made prisoner
by Hannibal, he escaped after twenty
months spent in chains. He fought
four battles with his left hand only,
and then made himself hand of iron,
which he fastened on to fight with,
and, thus accoutred, raised the siege
of Cremona, protected Placentia, and
took twelve camps of the enemy in
Gaul. Similar substitutes for ampu-
tated arms and legs must have been
in use even before the time of Sergius;
SO at least we may infer from the
treasure-trove turned up at Capua in
1885, in tufa-grave. Amongth con-
tents of this tomb was an artificial
leg, made of bronze, wood and iron,
the skeleton being entire, save the
bones represented by the artificial
limb. This probably uniquej relic
is now in the museum of the
Royal College of Surgeons of Lon
don, and is thus officially described:
"Roman artificial leg. The arti-
fetal limb accurately represents the
form of the leg. tits made with pieces
OF thin bronze, fastened by bronze
nails to wooden core. Two iron
bars, having holes at their free ends,
are ATTACHED to the upper extremity
of the bronze. A quadrilateral piece
OF iron, found near the position OF the
foot, is thoughtto have given strength
to 1t. There was no trace of the foot,
and the wooden core had nearly all
crumbled away. The skeleton had it's
waist surrounded by a belt OF sheet
bronze, edged with small rivets, prob
ably used to fasten leather lining.
Three painted vases (red figures on a.
black ground) lay at the feet of the
skeleton. The vases belonged to a.
rather advanced period OF the decline
in art (about 800 B CO." Comment
ing on the above, Gen. Ell. Ill. Maxwell
says: cit is important to add, from
other sources, that the upper third of
the leg was hollow, while the lower
two thirds were filled with wood"

THE BELLS OF EARTH.
BY INCREASE N. TARBox.

The bells of earth go sounding on
From many an ancient steeple,
Telling their tales of joy and woe
To all the waiting people;
In merry strains of festal mirth
They cheer our hours of gladness,
Or wall their cry when midnight flames
Are raging in their madness;
So on they ring, these bells of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges
To-day they mourn nations loss,
In heavy means of sorrow,
But chant the tripping wedding-march
In gladstone tones tomorrow
To-day they sing of victory,
With banners gayly Tying,
Tomorrow requiems for the slain
On all the winds are signing;
So on they ring, these bells Of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges.
How gently, on the morning air,
The Sabbath bells are calling.
How softly at the hour of prayer,
When evening dews are falling;
But when deaths sad procession moves,
And bells are slowly tolling,
How mournfully upon the ear
Those waves of sound come rolling;
So on they ring, these bells of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges.
Their note is one : but human souls,
All thoughts and passions blending.
Can turn the music at their will,
To each emotion bending;
These songs from turret and from tower,
Which Der the land are ringing,
Are echoes from the self-same song,
Which every heart is singing;
So on they ring, these bells of earth,
With note that never changes,
But over all the chords of life
Their mystic music ranges.

The Brown Eyes of the Horses.
In the brown eyes soft of the horses,
In the crystalline mirror clear,
Come gaze at the wonderful picture
We meier have forgotten, dear.
0 years How the ages stepping
AdOwn the long halls of Time,
Have kept meath their solemn grandeur
The beautiful rhythm and rhyme
That calls up the amber picture
In the crystalline mirror clear,
In the brown eyes soft of the horses,
Which we ne'er have forgotten dear.
On, sweet Oh, sunlit and fragrant,
Was our land oil enchantment of old,
Oh beauteOus days when we rambled
Along the fair sands, bright with gold
Or toss'd our heads high to the breezes,
Our names flung loose wild and free,
AS we spurned the ground like whirlwind
Till we scented the salt of the seal
All, those were the days for existence!
Not the pale puny life of to-day;
Now, only the eyes of the horses
Recall the sweet time gone for aye.
Now, only the eyes of the horses,
Softly speak Of the freedom agone,
Till we hear yet again haunted music
Winding down on haunted wind borne
All the Wild swift rush of the tempest
That rivalled our glorious speed
When we skinned the brown plain to the noun
tain,
Each proud breathing noble-limbed steed
Now, the Past giveth back but whisper,
Falling faint as the lost ages roll,
SIN the brown eyes soft of the horses,
Lies imprison'd human SOUL

JUST ONE.

The5 is a time not far off. dear,
When one of US will sit in tears
Beside the couch where silence reigns
Supreme to one, just one, in tears.
Just one in vain will call the name
Of one who answers nevermore;
The ear hears not the loving words;
No answer comes from cross the shore
Just one-ah, which one must 1t be
That DER the others somber bier
Shall first bend low with tears of love.
And call in vain for one most dear?
Just one, my dear, must bear the pain
And anguish of that parting day;
Speak low to ears that listen not,
And press at last one kiss for aye
Which one, darling, which will it be?
